It was Terry Haste, from Kent and Haste, that made the suits for the Kingsman film franchise! Fun fact.
The two also have great stories to tell about tailoring and the Row. Real gentlemen.
He has retired now that lovely man
@@RichardEnglander Terry hasn’t retired lol. I was in the shop last week. Did you mean John Kent?
@@mikewingert5521 sorry I meant John, I wasn't paying attention! I stand corrected
@@RichardEnglander I hate social media…..it always makes me sound so terse in the stead of sounding jolly.
Now that’s the ultimate luxury. I feel richer watching this great video
Marvelous. That suit is smashing.
Wtf w/the haters in the comments here? Anyway…loved the video and the education lesson on Huntsman. Their house cut isn’t my cup of tea, but I’m always happy to see the old guard thriving.
I like the traditional but comfortable style of Anderson and Sheppard. My father first took me there when I was a teenager 50 years ago.
Haters = jealousy
My tailor and my favorite house cut from Savile Row tailors. Superb!
Absolutely fantastic Tom. So much information packed into the video. As always, the out takes gave us a chuckle.
Tom another brilliant video and Dario is certainly the very best and an extremely humble man! Great job 👌🏾
at 2:17, that's my back in the right hand mirror lol Great video as always.
Fascinating, especially the section with cutter!!
When you introduce someone (Dario), let them actually speak instead of giving an extended monologue while they just stand there. Ask the man something!
You match the wall covering!
I noticed that and presumed it wasn't a coincidence. A Huntsman tartan was my thought.
I am thoroughly enjoying the series. Please keep them coming.
Fantastic! Love this insight into how gentlemens tailoring should be. My dad always had suits tailor made, I assume because at the time that's how it was always done (i'm talking 1960's and no 'off the peg') would love to get back to that.
Thank you for sharing. I would love to have a bespoke hacking jacket from Huntsman. I really enjoy your videos and especially love the current series. Best regards Ron
Really love you're outfit my man 👌👍👍
coolest youtube series at the moment!
Great little vignette. I almost stopped watching when I saw the Coldm Gds mess kit during the intro (I'm Gren Gds) but I recovered after seeing that glorious smoked orange smoker. Always cast an eye when I passed Huntsman, but through regimental contacts, Dege and Skinner and Meyer and Mortimer were invariably my go-to tailors.
You look very chic indeed. Great episode.
I just watched a few videos about Biba. It seems they annoyed quite a few Gents. Good for Colin, genius. I do like the single button riding style Jacket, so elegant. The peck 62 is wonderful, looks fab on Tom and strangely I know it's 62 years old this year because so am I. The best Vintage, aged well.
Great series
Great video, a big hug from Spain
Your suit, perfect for your complexion, reminds me of a Laurence Fellows illo.
A wonderful compliment
Great vid! Well done
The jacket you wore at Kent and Haste was fabulous. This one, not so much !
You match the wallpaper! Great video too.
Brilliant introduction to Huntsman. Do Huntsman help the client to "design" their suit or are they,the client,expected to know what will suit them ? This has been a problem for us elsewhere.
Once you book a consult, the cutter will meet with you and determine your needs. lifestyle, and other factors. They take your measurements for a coat and then trousers. They have thousands of types of cloth to order from various British mills. Once your measurements are taken they will cut a pattern which is used to cut the cloth. If you are a first time customer it may require three fittings. The suit will require less once a pattern is cut. The cutter worries about a "design". Each tailor house on the row has their own style of cut. Huntsman will be different from Anderson and Sheppard and Dege and Skinner will be different from Gieves and Hawkes. Most customers if new to bespoke tailoring will get a solid navy blue and solid charcoal grey suit to start. Of course, it gets addictive. Once you have one suit, you need another. And then of course you'll need a tuxedo. And then a top coat. You can always try different tailors. There are many in London, including those on the row.
Very enjoyed watching. It would be great to have a bit more about the cut and how it differs from the others on the Row…
In that case maybe pop to Kent & Haste and see how you feel there. Very down to earth people who understand that not all of us have a long history of bespoke suits.
Great vid! But I'm very sorry but the pattern of your suit just doesn't work for me.
Womp womp
All Blacks mentioned 🔥
Patrol back…..we used to call it a cavalry cut.
I think it just now references standard No.1 dress “ the blue patrol jacket” or as they are referred to by some regiments as “Postman’s blues”, all have French rear seams
Well done Tom & Co, great video. That barber chap was wrong by the way! Your hair grew a good inch on the walk between Truffit's and Huntsman! ;)
The late Charlie Watts was Huntsman regular.
At 1:00 in, you're almost blending into the wall 😂
All Black's mention! I'll take that as a New Zealand home country mention!!
Which company is the manufacturer of your suit fabric--Scabal, Holland & Sherry, Huddlestone?
Take a drink every time the word august is used!
But is it august?
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this series...BUT...who the heck is editing these videos???? The jump cuts are distracting. This video has an edit before it went to still a photograph. Use the photo to cover the edit. It is editing 101. Shoot video of what Tom is talking about to use if an edit is needed. Change camera angles. Anything would be better And what a ballsy suit!!!
U luv it dbs!!! Me 2!!!! Have on light gray db ..headed 2 church...peace
If that suit pattern was somewhat muted, The Rake would be addressing us with much more authority. It's just a touch too prominent for ones liking !!
Please send a card to our PM!!! The money he has and dresses like he does, shocking!
What was the long story about being right handed?
I’m afraid the length does not also mean it’s interesting but I was born left handed but my nursery teacher forced me to write with my right hand so I’m all higgledy-piggledy
@@tfchamberlin Thanks to you I have just learnt a new English expression (higgledy-piggledy) I am correct in assuming you are ambidextrous? Regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I’ll be in London in a fortnight. Will have to stop in to peruse the tweeds!
Seems you wore the wallpaper
😂
Interesting video but....What on earth are you wearing?
I’m a 49.5 drop 8, but I think you’re even bigger than me.
I'm 40 drop 9. It is almost impossible to find off-the-peg suits which fit me.
@@RichardEnglander I feel ya. Me too, for the most part, more so when accounting for dropped shoulder, prominent chest, and all the other peculiarities one doesn’t know he has until he shops for a bespoke suit.
Jacket makes you look like a used car salesman from the 70s trying to pitch me on a Pinto or Gremlin.
I would like to point out a small interesting fact that caught my eye straight away as a donkey jacket specialist myself this offended my intelligence level drastically NOWTO THE OFFENSE it’s the buttons on the jacket not level did any one notice 😂
That must be one of the worst pattern placement on a sport coat. Jesus christ looks so bad
unfortunately they offer a cheaper version of their suits made in china…
Pocket flaps out of line with the coat body stripes my OCD would not accept that sorry 😞
I wonder was there a reason for this? Surely has to be an explanation or a logic, given everything else on the coat is immaculate. Perhaps it was a "necessary evil"
I wonder if Tom ever wears a single breasted suit.
He stated his preference was he only wears double-breasted. (Time-stamp 7:30). I hope this helped.
@@Ecojock Thanks man. Skimmed through this video and missed it. Cheers.

Nothing like having a chip or two. Which shoulder do you prefer to wear them on?
5:56 Whilst I do enjoy the Huntsman, sorry, Kingsman films for their fun and frolics, too many repeat the obvious advertorial nonsense of the film director that it was in that anteroom that he conceived of the film franchise. Utter rot! Any fule know that the Kingsman films rest on the shoulders of Mr. Ben and Mr. Bond. That is all.
Thats a crap tartan.
The button stance of your jacket is too high and the cloth is too garish.
Womp womp
It's fine...i have seen u before..u luv 2 complain....😂😮😅😅😅😊!!!
That was a bit harsh. I do not like the fabric at all, but "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"
It is perfect and not for everybody.
That jacket is hideous... 😢
